This Little Known Resort Near Pittsburgh Is The Perfect Place To Get Away From It All

Let time melt away as you relax during the perfect autumn getaway – complete with swimming, golf, and spectacular sunsets – at this historic resort near Pittsburgh. Remain on the resort grounds the whole time or visit nearby attractions like Ohiopyle State Park.

Dating back to 1907, the Historic Summit Inn takes visitors on a trip back in time with its vast, lush grounds, charming rooms, and sweeping staircase.

Located about an hour and a half from downtown Pittsburgh in Farmington, the Historic Summit Inn has hosted such prominent guests as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone during its storied history.

Check in at the quaint front desk before climbing the sweeping staircase to your room. The Historic Summit Inn boasts 94 cozy guests rooms, some of which provide stunning bird's eye views of Uniontown.

Tour the charming treehouse, built by Animal Planet's popular Treehouse Masters. Treehouse tours start at 5 p.m. on weekdays and at 11 a.m. on weekends. Guests can also rent the treehouse for intimate events.

Hit the links at the golf course on the grounds of the Historic Summit Inn. Resort guests will enjoy waived green fees when visiting Monday through Thursday. (Guests will have to pay for a golf cart, if desired.)

The Historic Summit Inn offers so much to do that you never have to leave the resort grounds. But, if you want to explore, you'll discover Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob (pictured) and Fallingwater, as well as Ohiopyle State Park, within close proximity.

Sit back and watch the sun set from a cozy rocking chair on the grand porch before retreating to your room for the evening. But, make your reservations soon because the resort's season ends in November.
